Chapter 447
The door of the bedroom was slightly ajar.
William stood at the door, listening to his daughter's soliloquy.
The tears of the old father could no longer be controlled, and they fell down fragile and melancholic.
The doctor had told him that depression would develop into severe symptoms of hallucinations and talking to
oneself. Faced with his beloved daughter's heartache, William didn’t know how to help her.
He didn’t understand how good Theo was, that his daughter was so obsessed with him.
He silently turned around and left.
Then, silently, | picked up my phone and dialed the helpline number of an old friend.

After hanging up the phone, Ryker becaware of a sharp gaze piercing through his body from behind. He
slowly turned around and saw his son Luke glaring at him angrily.
“Dad, is it over yet?”
“l was your son, not a tool for you to repay your debts.”
Ryker slapped the table and said, “How dare you speak like. that? If it wasn’t for Uncle William, your mother and |
would never have been together, and you wouldn't even exist. You should have a conscience. His daughter
needs your help now, so why don’t you lend her a hand? Even if she’s a stranger, it’s our duty to help vulnerable

Luke painfully pinched his forehead and said, “I had already met Miss Fletcher. She didn’t feel any connection
withat all. Are you askingto shamelessly approach her? Am | shameless?”
Ryker slightly opened his mouth and said, “You... don’t tellyou had sfeelings for her?”
Luke shouted, “How is that possible? She has been divorced, and your son would never marry a divorced
woman.”
Ryker sighed, “Actually, Dad wouldn't let you marry a
divorced woman. But Dad hopes you can help her. Why don’t you bring her into your social circle, let her meet
your impressive classmates, maybe Jade can move on from her previous relationship?”

Luke couldn't resist his father’s persuasion, “Alright. I'll give it
a try.”
Valentine's Day.
Thea unexpectedly received a phone call from Luke.
“Jade, today is the reunion of my college classmates, and it is necessary to bring a family member. You see, | am
still single and going alone will only makethe target of my classmates. Can you pretend to be my
girlfriend...”
Thea was a bit slow to react.
Luke kept talking, “Most of my college classmates got married and had children after graduation. Only | pursued
a master’s and a Ph.D., which delayed my personal matters. Every tmy classmates saw me, they
enthusiastically tried to introduceto a girlfriend. But | really didn’t want to go on blind dates...”
“Sure, I'll help you,” Thea has always been helpful.
Luke wiped his sweat and said, “Then I'll cpick you up. By the way, dress up a little nicer.”
Thea teased, “Are you afraid that | would embarrass you?”
“Hehe, the image of a girlfriend represents the aesthetic taste of men,” Luke replied nonchalantly.
Thea quickly tidied herself up, applied a light makeup to hide her exhaustion. She randomly picked a skirt from
her wardrobe, changed into it, grabbed a bag, and then left.
She waited at the door for Luke to pick her up.

At this moment.
A black business van raced on the road. Inside the van, Luke and his two buddies, along with a female
classmate, were discussing today’s mission.
Luke solemnly warned his friend, “Any of you who are interested in my uncle's daughter, you can pursue her with
confidence.”
“Haha, Luke, only cheap things need to be promoted. Your uncle’s daughter, she wouldn't have any hidden
illness, would she?”
Luke awkwardly smiled and said, “It’s not a hidden illness, just...
Luke didn’t know the whole story, so he could only guess, “Maybe her ex-boyfriend was a scumbag, which
triggered her depression. My uncle wanted to help her get over it by starting a new relationship.”
“Why didn’t you go yourself?”
“She had been divorced, and | was a little concerned. But you are different, your mindset is more open than
mine.”
“Was she beautiful?”
“I saw her once, at her house. To be honest, she looked a bit unkempt.”
The female classmate got angry and said, “It doesn’t sound like a good condition. Luke, are you even a human,
introducing such cheap women to your classmates?”
Luke laughed and said, “Just kidding.”

Laughter mingled with the wind, drifting away.
Soon, the car drove into the entrance of the Fletcher Manor.
The people in the car suddenly becquiet.
They looked through the car window and marveled at the magnificent and castle-like estate.
“So, she was actually a rich woman. Even rich women can endure hidden illnesses.”
At that moment, Thea walked towards them.
She was slender but not fragile, with the right curves and especially graceful. However, the coldness in her eyes
made her appear somewhat broken.

It was beautiful.
Like an elf untouched by dust.
“Wow.”
“Is she Miss Fletcher?”
“Impossible, Miss Fletcher looking like this, would Luke still give us the opportunity?”
At this moment, Luke stared blankly at Thea.
He really didn’t expect that Thea was so beautiful.
Can we only blthe bad weather that day?
However, his family background was good, so he was particularly picky when it cto the opposite sex. A

beautiful person with just good looks might not catch his eye.
Thea had walked up to the front and knocked on the car window.
Luke slid down the car window from the driver's seat and said with a smile, “Jade, sit in the back.”
Thea’s gaze swept over the female classmate in the driver's seat and the male classmates in the back row, her
eyes
revealing a hint of surprise.
“Oh, they are my classmates. | just gave them a ride on my way,” Luke explained nervously.
Thea confidently took a seat in the back row.
The people in the car had sinister intentions, creating an eerie silence.
The female classmate broke the silence and asked, “Miss Fletcher, may | be so bold as to ask where you
attended university?”
“The Milan Fashion Institute,” Thea said confidently.
“That school, ranked very low, right?”
With a contemptuous tone, Thea furrowed her brow uncomfortably.
She felt a strong rejection from the girl.
